overall personality:
Born out of her family’s over-protectiveness, is the young woman’s incredibly stubborn and sarcastic persona, which also resulted in her once having a very caring and compassionate persona, the latter two having died with her parents. For her friends and family, Kalique is willing to go to extreme lengths, and sometimes this is seen as recklessly, putting herself in danger, thus, usually leaving the people who care for her extremely worried and exasperated. Kalique's persona is also partnered with being extraordinarily clever and quick-thinking, which often saves herself and others in dire situations. Not only is she stubborn, but she is also headstrong and has a very fiery personality.
After the death of her mother and father, Kalique became a shell of her former self. While she is still a very hard working, patient and loyal person, there is a darker part of her. She rather kills than be killed, and is seen as very apathetic. She’s incredibly resourceful and intelligent, especially in both muggle subjects and the wizarding world, something that makes her an asset when it comes to building her bombs. Kalique has no care for the lives of those around her, as long as she is alive and thriving, the lives of others are like that of a rat in a science experiment.
Because of her loyal nature, if she feels that she has been betrayed or manipulated, she will do the same to others. She is exceptionally cunning and manipulative herself, but she is also broken and destroyed. She doesn’t trust easily, especially after everything she’s been through. She can also be seen as quite gullible and naïve, but she usually hides them very well.

history:
The story of Kalique Selwyn starts long before her birth, in the heart of Russia. Astrid Ivanova was the daughter of a local mob-boss that dealt in the dealings of enchanted weapons and everything illegal. She was the only daughter, having another brother that took over for their father once he passed. However, Astrid left long before her father's death, running away from home and starting a new life elsewhere - that elsewhere was the United Kingdom. It was here that she met Balraj Mostafa, a Indian Pureblood that had traveled there for work. One thing led to another, and eventually, Astrid found herself pregnant with her first try. When she went to find Balraj, he was gone within the night, leaving her alone and heartbroken.
But Astrid didn't stay alone for long; eventually, she caught the eye of Vladimir Selwyn, a man she instantly fell for that had two children of his own. He had lost his wife in childbirth to his youngest son, Titus. He was there for Astrid, and right before the baby was born, they married. It was a quick marriage, but they need it would last a lifetime - and it almost did if it hadn't been for their death. And the moment that Kalique was born, her dark brunette tuffs of hair fluttering between different colors - they knew she was special. And thus, Vladimir adopted Kalique as his own, and they never told her of her true father. However, this didn't stop his children from teasing her and pretending like she had been adopted due to the complexion she carried.
Life for Kalique was perfect, being raised in a wealthy home always was - especially one that was held so esteem in the pureblood community. She had a nanny that took care of her and eventually a ton of tutors that were tasked with her education until she went to Hogwarts. It was when she was seven, her parents decided to try for another baby - and that was how baby Renfri was born. Their life was perfect, an even amount of children to carry on their name. A few years later, at the age of eleven - Kalique was accepted into Hogwarts, following the steps behind her step-brothers. However, unlike them, she had been placed in Ravenclaw. A place that she flourished as a witch. She excelled in all her classes, and it was during her first year that she met one of Belam's friends, a quidditch player for their house, by the name of Theseus. One could say it was love at first sight, but for an eleven-year-old, she had yet to realize.
A year later, her parents gave birth to the twins, Camari and Cree, and decided to stop with their ever-growing family once and for all. Life continued for normal for the young witch, and it was by the time she hit her fifth-year at Hogwarts, she and Theseus had begun to date. It was a match made in Heaven, and everything was perfect. They were perfect together, and her parents, being somewhat blood-purist, confirmed it was a match, one they would be happy with if it came to fruition. It was after she graduated that Theseus talked her into attending muggle-college with him at the University of Bath. She didn't know why she accepted, and neither did her parents. But she was glad that she did, having found a passion for potion making and thus - chemistry had become her thing. It was halfway through her major, at the age of twenty-three, that she lost her parents. They had been killed in an accident, though if she was honest, she believed they had been murdered. Because of this, she fell-down a dark path - one that led her to make her bombs.
She eventually finished her major a mere five years later, and it was during this time that Theseus asked if she was ready to be married - she wasn't. She promptly broke off the engagement and disappeared into the night, leaving behind England and her family without a second thought. Kalique moved to Russia to see some cousins and quickly was thrust into the world of the mob, something her cousins were apart of, and Kalique was the weapons master. Using her degree and her magic, she created not only magical guns but also bombs, bombs that confused even her cousins. She had mixed both the magic and the muggle within it, and they conquered anyone that got into their way. She was the creator and they were the leader, they were the perfect pair. Eventually, Kalique grew tired of the same thing - she wanted to grow with her bombs, and thus, went out on her own in Russia. It was during one of her jobs that she was met with Elaine, a Purifier from London who recruited her. At first, Kalique was hesitant but she felt a draw to Elaine and her cause, and thus, followed suit over to London.
It was in 2023 that Kalique's bomb was first used in London, the attack on King’s Cross Station. Her second bomb was for the attack on the Beauxbatons carriage and Durmstrang ships. The disappearance of Harry Potter, the destruction of the Order into two separate groups, all hell is breaking lose. The attack on Ilvermorny was by no means the work of Kalique's creations, but who knows if one of them were stolen and used in American – Kalique will never know truly, and to be honest, she doesn’t care. Kalique continued to work on her bombs, even with the looming Hag's Fever, and with the "death" of Elaine, she didn't stop. And thankfully, she didn't because it was time to try out her newest bomb - and Elaine had the best idea. Thus, in Summer of 2025, Kalique struck again - this time with a bomb that looked like fireworks. A creation that she had been spending much time working on. And where was it used? On the Quidditch Match, killing over a hundred people - one of which being Minister Hermione Granger. Finally, a mudblood was out of the office.
Each day she perfects her bombs to the point that the muggles she tests on cannot defuse the bomb. She’s like Jigsaw, except there is no escape.
site events reaction:
Everything that has happened since the explosion at King's Cross Station, has been the dault of Kalique. Or at least, some of them have. The explosion that killed those exchange students after that tournament? that was Kalique. The explosion that happened at Ilvermorny? Eh. The attack at the Quidditch Match that killed Minister Hermione Granger and over 100 people? That was definitely Kalique. While the attacks, the killings, the explosions have been the work of her group, they haven't exactly openly affected her. She caused some of them, yes, but she feels no empathy towards the victims or their loved ones. When in doubt...blame Kalique's bombs.
The only thing that Kalique is currently worried about is Hag's Fever, but not that worried. She keeps herself pretty isolated from others to begin with.
